About UYHRF

Uganda Women Human Rights Forum

Uganda Women Human Rights Forum (UWHRF) is a feminist-led non-profit organization based in Uganda, dedicated to advancing the human rights of women and girls, promoting gender justice, and strengthening accountability systems.

We work to empower women and communities with knowledge, legal awareness, and platforms to influence policies and institutions that affect their lives.

At UWHRF, we believe that women and girls are not merely beneficiaries of development — they are leaders, rights-holders, and powerful agents of change.

Mission

To promote and protect the human rights of women and girls through advocacy, civic education, research, and strategic partnerships in Uganda.

Vision

A just, inclusive, and equitable Uganda where women and girls fully enjoy their human rights and freedoms without discrimination or violence.

Join the Movement

We believe sustainable change happens when women are empowered, informed, and actively engaged in shaping the systems that govern their lives.

Whether you are a women’s rights advocate, partner organization, donor, or volunteer — your involvement strengthens the movement for gender justice and human rights.
